All it took was one game (four to actually make the decision) and Corona, CA product Blake Barnett will be transferring from the National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide. So… could the redshirt freshman quarterback end up with the UCLA Football team?
The Bruins recruited Barnett during the 2014 recruiting cycle, the same year as current Bruin Josh Rosen. Barnett eventually decided on Tuscaloosa as his collegiate choice, but that was short-lived.
After starting the season against USC, Barnett was benched in favor of true freshman Jalen Hurts, landing him in the back up role.
